Pakistan and India share their group with Ireland, Canada, US
The initial schedule for this year’s ICC T20 World Cup has been finalized with Pakistan and India being in the same group.
The tournament is set to take place in the United States and the West Indies from June 4 to 30, featuring a total of T20 teams. For the first round, the T20 teams are divided into four groups.
As per sources, Pakistan and India share their gathering with Ireland, Canada, and the hosts, the US.
In this manner, most of the matches in the main round including Pakistan’s gathering are set to be played in the US.
Pakistan is scheduled to play its most memorable match against the USA on June 6, trailed by the eagerly awaited conflict between the chief adversaries Pakistan and India in New York on June 9.
The match among Pakistan and Canada is planned for June 11 in New York, while the first-round coordinate with Ireland will happen in Florida on June 16.
Following the primary round, the main two groups from every one of the four gatherings will fit the bill for the Very Eight round, where they will be separated into two gatherings.
As per the sources, the ICC has sent the timetable to the cricket loads up and the telecasters for input and endorsement, with the last timetable set to be delivered soon.
Sources recommend that the planning of the Pakistan-India match and the time region contrasts between the USA and the sub-mainland could prompt the choice of booking the match a day sooner.
It is actually quite important that New York is ten hours behind Pakistan’s time, and the match booked to begin in the early evening would be circulated late around evening time in Pakistan.
There is plausible that the match could be rescheduled to June 8 (Saturday) to try not to influence its viewership.
